Which outcome results when catalyst fines foul an industrial reactor's equilibrium?

💡 Explanation

Reduced percentage conversion occurs because catalyst fouling decreases available surface area, disrupting equilibrium via mass transfer limitations, therefore equilibrium shifts towards reactants rather than efficient product formation because of reduced mass action activity.
